When first thou on me Lord,
wrought'st thy Sweet Print,
My heart was made thy tinder box1
My 'ffections were thy tinder in't.
Where fell they Sparkes by drops.
Those holdy Sparks of Heavenly Fire that came
Did ever catch & often would flame.

Bu now my Heart is made they Censer2
trim,
Full of they golden Altars3
To offer up Sweet Incense in
Unto thyselfe intire:
I finde my tinder scarece they Sparks can feel
That drop out from they Holy Flint and Steel4

spontaneous combustion of gas resulting from decaying organic

to be the work of mysterious spirits trying to lead travelers astray.
